  • Lucienne Day 2017 Centenary Celebrations Nationwide Programme of Events Announced to Mark the Centenary of the Birth of Pioneering British Designer
    October 2016 Lucienne Day 2017 Centenary celebrations Nationwide programme of events announced to mark the centenary of the birth of pioneering British designer Lucienne Day with Calyx, Heal's, 1951 Reissue of Calyx, Classic Textiles, 2003 Copyright the Robin & Lucienne Day Foundation Copyright the Robin & Lucienne Day Foundation The 5th of January 2017 is the centenary of the birth of British designer Lucienne Day. In celebration of the life and work of one of most influential designers of the post-war generation, the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation is organising a nationwide programme of exhibitions, events, awards and collaborations to run throughout 2017. Best known for her textiles, Lucienne Day was a virtuoso pattern designer and colourist in a wide range of media including wallpapers, carpets, ceramics and hand-stitched fine art ‘silk mosaics’. In the course of her six-decade career she created an extraordinarily varied but distinctive body of work; designs like her Festival of Britain print Calyx still look as fresh and contemporary as when they were first launched. She was inspired by 20th century abstract art, the world’s great decorative art traditions, and her lifelong personal fascination with plant forms. She handled her palette of predominantly strong colours with great subtlety and originality. For twenty-five years, Heal’s star textile designer, Lucienne Day also produced work for numerous other clients in Britain and abroad, including John Lewis, Edinburgh Weavers, British Celanese, Tomkinson’s carpets, Irish linen company Thomas Somerset, and German wallpaper and ceramics firms Rasch and Rosenthal. From the early 1960s she collaborated with her husband Robin Day on BOAC aircraft interiors and a design consultancy to John Lewis.

Uluslararası ödüllü bir tasarımcı olan Day, savaş sonrası dönemde kullandığı renkler ile insanlara evlerinde yeni ve umutlu bir dünyanın kapısını açmıştır. 20. yüzyıl sanatının tasarıma etkisinin açıkça görüldüğü tekstilleri, döneminin öncü yüzey tasarımlarıdır. 1950’lere damgasını vuran Day’in eşi Robin Day de ödüllü bir mobilya tasarımcısıdır. İkili, yaratıcı yönlerini desteklemenin dışında ortak projelere de imza atmışlardır. Seri üretilen yüzey tasarımlarından sonra Day, 1980’lerde ‘İpek Mozaikler’ adını verdiği duvar halılarına yönelmiştir. 1990’ların sonuna doğru yeniden keşfedilen Lucienne Day’in tasarımlarının zamansızlığı, bu çalışmada, yüzyılın değişen tasarım dili ekseninde anlatılmıştır.

ABSTRACT 100th anniversary of Lucienne Day, creator of the iconized surface designs, is to be celebrated in 2017. Born in 1917, the British designer left us in 2010, but her designs still keep up to date. Day, who was awarded internationally, opened a new and hopeful world to the people in their homes with the colours she used in her designs during the post-war period. Her textiles, in which her influence on 20th century can be noticed, are the pioneering surface designs of the time. 1950s impressing designer’s husband, Robin Day, is also an award-winning furniture designer.

  • In Textasis: Matrixial Narratives of Textile Design
    1 IN TEXTASIS: MATRIXIAL NARRATIVES OF TEXTILE DESIGN ELAINE IGOE A thesis submitted in partial fulflment of the requirements of the Royal College of Art for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2013 Funded by Te University of Portsmouth 2 3 COPYRIGHT STATEMENT Tis text represents the submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Royal College of Art. Tis copy has been supplied for the purpose of research for private study, on the understanding that it is copyright material, and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. BLANK 4 5 ABSTRACT Since its inception in the late 1970s, the academic feld of design research has lacked signifcant input from textile design. Textile design inhabits a liminal space that spans art, design, craf; the decorative and functional; from handiwork to industrial manufacture. Tis PhD by thesis, although recognizing this particularity, asserts textile design as a design discipline and seeks to address key questions that defne a design discipline (Archer 1979). Specifc factors have prevented the participation of textile design in the development of design theory: the universalism of the Modernist age decried many of the innate characteristics of textiles despite the fact that the versatility of textiles has made it one of the most appropriate mediums for its message. Tis suppression points to the femininely gendered nature of textiles and how this afected the participation of textile designers in the development of design research. Addressing this historical and cultural context necessitated the utilization of feminist qualitative research methods in a methodology that references matrixial theory (Ettinger 2006) and relationality.

The task was to design patterns for interior textiles. This thesis describes about the processes that took place during creating the ideas for three different textile patterns. The whole thesis can be divided into two parts. The thesis first describes about a material research which was conducted to gather the information about textile patterns from different periods and ethnic groups. Then the thesis describes about the methods that is applied to generate new design idea for textile patterns. The project was aimed to capture timeless element in textile patterns which do not represent a specific time period so that such patterns can be used again and again. They always look trendy. Different methods have been used to create design idea for textiles patterns. Firstly a material research was conducted to gather information of already used patterns in different time periods and in different ethnic textiles. It helped to understand about the already existed patterns. After collecting the required information from the material research, design process was started.

  • 11156.01 GCE New Spec History of Art A2 1 MS Summer 2018.Indd
    ADVANCED General Certificate of Education 2018 History of Art Assessment Unit A2 2 assessing Module 4: Architecture, Craft and Design [AD221] TUESDAY 12 JUNE, MORNING MARK SCHEME 11156.01 F General Marking Instructions Introduction Mark schemes are published to assist teachers and students in their preparation for examinations. Through the mark schemes teachers and students will be able to see what examiners are looking for in response to questions and exactly where the marks have been awarded. The publishing of the mark schemes may help to show that examiners are not concerned about finding out what a student does not know but rather with rewarding students for what they do know. The Purpose of Mark Schemes Examination papers are set and revised by teams of examiners and revisers appointed by the Council. The teams of examiners and revisers include experienced teachers who are familiar with the level and standards expected of students in schools and colleges. The job of the examiners is to set the questions and the mark schemes; and the job of the revisers is to review the questions and mark schemes commenting on a large range of issues about which they must be satisfied before the question papers and mark schemes are finalised. The questions and the mark schemes are developed in association with each other so that the issues of differentiation and positive achievement can be addressed right from the start. Mark schemes, therefore, are regarded as part of an integral process which begins with the setting of questions and ends with the marking of the examination.
